This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision---------------- Matter of: Technica Corporation File: B-413339 Date: September 19, 2016 Jerald S. Howe Jr., Esq., Samuel W. Jack, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for the protester. LaTonya McFadden, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's interpretation of a solicitation as requiring vendors to recertify their small business status as of the time for submission of quotations for a task order is denied where a solicitation amendment reasonably advised vendors of this requirement. 2. Protest challenging the basis for award set forth in a solicitation is dismissed where the protester is not an interested party because the agency rejected the protester's quotation for failing to recertify its small business status. DECISION Technica Corporation, of Dulles, Virginia, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 1096408, which was issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization, for solution engineering and implementation support services. Technica argues that the solicitation improperly provides for award to the vendor that submits the lowest-priced, technically-acceptable (LPTA) quotation. The protester also argues that the agency improperly rejected its quotation on the basis that the protester failed to recertify its small business size status and is therefore not eligible to compete for the award of the task order. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
